In 2010, 33 miners were trapped deep in a copper mine in northern Chile for 69 days. The world watched as international teams arrived to find a way to rescue the men. When the miners were finally pulled out, they became celebrities, for a brief time. Now, they feel forgotten and are hurting.

Chile's firefighters have proudly worked as unpaid volunteers since the 19th century. But this month's devastating fire in Valparaiso has led many to question whether the country should move to a paid force.

Most of the 33 miners trapped underground for more than two months in northern Chile have been winched to the surface amid scenes of jubilation. Lisa Mullins talks with the BBC's Gideon Long at the site of the rescue operation.

Anchor Marco Werman speaks with the BBC's Gideon Long, who's at the mine where 33 miners have been trapped underground since early August. Rescuers successfully drilled a narrow bore hole from the surface down to where the men are.

Chile's earthquake and accompanying tsunami have displaced millions of people who now struggle with shortages of water and food. Aftershocks have rattled the country and thousands of troops have been sent in to keep order.
